HOW DO We DIG OUR GRAyES7

We must eat or we cannot live.
This we all know. But do we all
know that we die by eating? TITS
said we dig our graves with u
teeth. How foolish this sounds.
Yet it is fearfully true. We are ter
rifed at the approach of the cholera
and yellow fever, yet there is a dis
ease constantly at our doors and in
our houses far more dangerous and
destructive. Most people have in
their own stomachs a poison, more
slow, but quite as fatal as the germs
of those maladies which sweep men
into eternity by thousands without
warning in the times of great cpl
denies. But it is a mercy that, if
we are watchful, we can tell when
we are threatened. The following
are among the symptoms, yet they
do not always necessarily appear in
the same order, nor IRE they always
the same in different cases. There
is a dull and sleepy feeling; q bad
taste in the mouth, especially in the
morning; the appetite is change
able, sometimes poor and again it
seems as though the patient could
not eat enough, and occasionally no
appetite at all; dullness and slug
gishness of the mind; no ambition
to study or work; more or less head
ache and heaviness in the head;
dizziness on rising to the feet or
moving suddenly; furred and coat
ed tongue; a of a load OF the
stomach that nothing removes; hot
and dry skin at times; yellow tinge
in the eyes; scanty and high-colored
urine sour taste in the mouth, fire.
quently attended by palpitation of
the heart; impaired vision, with
spots that seem to be swimming in
the air before the eyes; a cough,
with q greenish-colored expcc}o-
ration; poor nights rest; a sticky
slime about the teeth and gums;
hands md feet cold and clammy;
irritable temper and bowels bound
up and costive. This disease has
puzzled the physicians and still puz-
zles them. It is the commonest OF
ailments and yet the most compli-
Gated and mysterious. Sometimes
it is treated as consumption, some
times as liver complaint, and then
again as malaria and even heart dis
ase But its real nature is that of
constipation anddyspepsia. 1t arises
in the digestive organs and soon
affects all the others through the
corrupted and poisoned blood.
Often the whole body-including
the nervous SYSTEMS literally
starred, even when there is nc
emaciation to tell tho sad story.
Experience has shown that there's
put n remedy that can certainly
cure this disease in Sll its stages,
namely, Shaker Extract of Roots or
Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. 1t
never fails but, nevertheless. no time
should be lost in trying other So
called remedies, for they will do nc
good. Get this great vegetable
